The Spiritual Centre is conceived as a forward-looking destination for a rapidly growing district in the city, anchored by a dramatic 35,000 sqm mosque, synagogue, and Eastern Orthodox temples set within a 29-hectare park ensuring broad community use and long-term value for the city.

The architectural vision of the mosque, with a capacity for 9,000 worshippers, balances monumentality and openness, with bold forms, reflecting pools, and landscaped gardens creating a cohesive ensemble that unites faith, culture, and nature. It is defined by intersecting vaulted shells: structural shells - one clad in white ceramic panels that gradually filter light through increasing glazed openings, and the other in stone with subtle perforations shielding the southern exposure. 

The concept is to create a space where one can find a connection to one’s faith and community while also enjoying its gardens and other spaces for contemplation, recreation, education and culture.  In doing so, we particularly hope that the project becomes a legacy that will inspire and encourage communal inter-religious dialogue while nurturing the values of peaceful co-existence as well as acceptance among different beliefs, cultures and nationalities for the community of today and future generations.
